Imagine that your friendly local game store has a sale and you see a great deal on a game by one of your favorite designers. You know nothing about the game besides the designer's name and that it's a decent price. You are in a hurry, no time to research, buy it now or miss out.

Which designer's game would you most likely purchase blindly based only on their name?

Friedemann Friese. They're not all great, but they're all at least interesting.

It's always good to see where his head is at and what rabbit hole he's going down.

That's a great pick! Yeah, it will be definitely interesting and green :)

My picks: On the lighter side Phil Walker-Harding. The game might be end up being light but it will be very likely enjoyable. On the mid-weight side it's probably Simone Luciani or Daniele Tascini or possibly someone else from the Italian-style euro designer group (T-series, Grand Austria Hotel etc). I've liked pretty much everything I've tried from them so far.

Christian Martinez because Inis is a lovely super replay-able game

Agreed about Inis and Cairn is decent too but it's still a small sample size. Will have to see how Galactic Renaissance turns out.

I would not say no to a Uwe Rosenberg game.
